Mature GUIs have a common pattern to avoid too much graphical flickering on possibly rapid state transitions, such as setting a busy pointer or disabling buttons while some operation is in progress. I don't know if it has a name, but the algorithm is exactly the same for de-bouncing mechanical keys: you propagate the event only after the state has settled for a certain amount of time. This would take away a certain percentage of spurious updates, but the number basically remains proportional to the number of users so it doesn't scale much better. -- // Bernie Innocenti - http://www.codewiz.org/ \X/ Sugar Labs - http://www.sugarlabs.org/ _______________________________________________ Sugar-devel mailing list Sugar-devel@lists.sugarlabs.org http://lists.sugarlabs.org/listinfo/sugar-devel
